TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in response to your letter of December 4 to Mr. Boaz, Public Information Office, Federal Highway Administration, inquiring about the applicability to motorcycles and scooters of the proposed Department of Transportation-Department of the Treasury customs regulations.

The regulations do apply to motorcycles and scooters imported into the United States, but not to similar type vehicles imported into or manufactured in Canada for use in Canada. I am enclosing a copy of the regulations for your information.
